Kerala doctors call off strike after assurances by CM, decisions at meet

Doctors have withdrawn the ongoing Statewide strike following the assurances given by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan during talks on Thursday and the decisions taken at a high-level meeting to corroborate this.

The Indian Medical Association (IMA) and the Kerala Government Medical Officers’ Association (KGMOA) said that doctors in the private and public sector will re-join duty on Friday on the strength of the decisions taken at the Chief Minister’s meeting. The KGMOA will, however, continue to boycott VIP duties till the decisions were implemented.

However, postgraduate (PG) medicos and house surgeons have refused to call off their strike immediately and said they will take a decision only after talks with Health Minister Veena George on Friday.
